The free end 31 of the heavy wire I2 is held against the face of the metal sheet II by the fine wire I1, shown in Figure 3 as passing through a single hole 38 in the sheet II, and a single hole 39 in the back I0, so that the two ends at the back of the back I are carried behind a cross bar 40, which, if the device is to be subjected to rough handling, may be looped, to prevent its falling out.

'I'he base or back I0 is shown as further decorated with a red band 4I parallel to the edge of the sheet II, and also as decorated with conventionalized musical notes.

One giant musical note 42 is shown as formed of strokes 43 of black ink, the shading being provided by heavy Wire I2 lying along one of the edges. In the form shown the short heavy wire 44 of the top stroke is held in place by its bent over ends 45 which pierce the back I0 and are bent over in rings, see Figure 7, the bight of each ring bearing against the back of the base I0.

The ends of the wire 46 Aof the long vertical stroke are shown as similarly held by rings 45, but the central part of the stretch of the wire 46 is shown as held in Figure 2. The Wire I2 along one edge of each of the strokes 43 serves as shading for those strokes.

Above the sheet I I is shown a conventionalized music stai and a few notes. The horizontal lines 41 of the staff are shown as ruled, but the clef 48, lying on the lines 41V is shown as of heavy wire held by ne wires 49, which may hold it as the heavy wire I2 of Figure 2 is held.

The notes I may be ruled lines, shaded by suitable heavy Wire I2 which is held in place by its projecting ends which lie behind the base or back I3.

Figure 8 shows a modied form of design in which the ends 53 of the heavy wire I2, forming the Words When, Better, pierce the cardboard base 54, and, as indicated in dotted lines, are bent back to lie against the back of the base.

The letters Wh are formed of a single stretch of heavy Wire 55, bent Where needed, and held by fine wires 56, at the sharper bends. The single heavy wire 51 en is found to need no support except the bent back ends 53 that pierce the base.

The stretch of heavy wire 58 is held both by its pierced and bent back ends 53, and by ne wires 59 at the top of the loop 60 of the letter b and near its horizontal turn, said fine Wires holding as in Figure 2.

The two ts of better are formed each of a single wire 62 for the down stroke and turning upwardly,-the second t continuing to form the er. It is found that a single heavy cross wire 63 for the two ts, its ends piercing the base and bent over flat at the back, holds the wires 62 very effectively.

It is sometimes advantageous to hold a heavy wire I2 in place by a ne double pointed brad or tack 64, instead of the fine wires I8, I9 or 2Q. Such a structure is shown in Figure 6, in which the points B5 of the tack projecting at the back are bent over.

The base or back IU is herein illustrated as of cardboard, but for some purposes the carrier or base sheet may be of metal or wood or cork or a plastic material such as bakelite.

Having thus described certain Iembodiments of the invention, what is claimed is:

1. The combination with a sheet, of lines drawn on said sheet, and a `wire lying along one of the lines and serving as shading for the line.

2. The combination with a'sheet, of a heavy ornamental wire lying on the sheet, lines drawn upon the sheet, and. a ne wire relatively unnoticeable passing through the sheet encircling the heavy wire to hold it.

3. The combination with a sheet, of lines upon the sheet forming part of an ornamental representation, a wire forming part of the representation and playing the part of a line, and a wire forming the shading for a line.

4. The combination with a sheet, of lines drawn upon the sheet, a heavy wire upon the sheet playing the part of a line, another heavy wire forming the shading for aline, and fine holding means encircling at least one wire and relatively unnoticeable.

5. The combination with a sheet, of a heavy ornamental wire lying upon the sheet, fine holding means encircling the Wire and passing through the sheet and relatively unnoticeable, and a' bar behind the sheet behind which the means are united.

6. The combination with a sheet, of a heavy ornamental Wire lying upon the sheet and having an end projecting through the sheet and lying against the back of the sheet to hold it in place, and a iine wire passing through the sheet and encircling the heavy wire so as to be inconspicuous and holding a bight of the heavy wire to the sheet.
